Misc Files
This will be the place I put all the resource I've either created, used, or may be useful for others. I've also made a backup of the website into a PDF if you'd like to have a simple thing to have offline or in case this website ever goes down.
The doc may not be as up to date, but it is still a valuable backup in case this site ever goes down. Feel free to make a copy to your google account, or download it to access offline.
While the Tips section is here, I decided that having the doc is still a valuable backup. Feel free to make a copy to your google account, or download to access it offline.
While the For Windows section is here, I decided that having the doc is still a valuable backup. Feel free to make a copy to your google account, or download to access it offline.
While the Spotting Fakes section is here, I decided that having the doc is still a valuable backup. Feel free to make a copy to your google account, or download to access it offline.

List of the sites I found useful.
The Xbox archive, it's good for finding old dates, pricing and all sorts of cool stuff from the past:
xbox.com/en-US/hardware/catalog
How I calculate dates of controllers(can easily change the year on the url):
I did use wiki to help with making the list here. But their list wasn't all that detailed and I preferred to write my own unique tidbits about each controller:
wikipedia.org/wiki/Xbox_360_controller
wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Xbox_360_retail_configurations
I also found XBLA Fans page about 360 controllers pretty useful.
xblafans.com/every-controller-ever-produced-by-microsoft-and-where-to-find-them-61617.html
Console variations is missing quite a bit, and sure I could be adding controllers I've found on there. Maybe one day, but it's a resource I've seen people use. It seems mainly better for Nintendo/pure consoles over controllers.

Old 2008 destructoid article about the Green and Red controller releases:

Old May, 2005 article on IGN about the 360 controller. It's interesting to go back and see it from a perspective before people knew much about the controller.
